Romans 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

English “mortal” in Romans 6:12 was translated from Greek adjective 2349 thnetos describing grammatical objects of grammatical subjects other than God who perform the action of Greek verb 2348 thnesko. Greek adjective 2349 thnetos was also translated into English “mortal” in Romans 8:11-21 and 1Corinthians 15:50-58 in which English “immortality” was translated from Greek feminine noun 110 athanasia from a compound of Greek negative particle 1 a synonymous with English un or not and Greek masculine noun 2288 thanatos. Only God’s “seven thousand” “election” understand 1Corinthians 15:53’s “For  this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality” is a two stage process and only God’s “seven thousand” “election” “put on immortality” during this earth age subsequent to achieving “the first resurrection” of Revelation 20:5 & 6 during this earth age while “the rest were blinded” noted in Romans 11:7 are “the rest of the dead” of Revelation 20:5 “But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first  resurrection”. English “until” in Revelation 20:5 was translated from English “ye should obey” in Romans 6:12 was translated from Greek verb 5219 hupakouo from a compound of Greek preposition 5259 hupo meaning under in the genitive case as grammatical objects are under their grammatical subject and Greek verb 191 akouo meaning to hear.

Romans 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

English “dead” in Romans 6:11 was translated from Greek adjective 3498 nekros describing and qualifying God’s “seven thousand” “election” who have de-testified all flesh thoughts and feelings in deference to God’s spiritual thoughts and ways.

English “alive” in Romans 6:11 was translated from Greek verb 2198 zao which can mean to be either physically alive or spiritually alive. Only God can perform the action of Greek verb 2198 zao to make one spiritually alive. Everyone reading and studying Romans 6:11 at this moment are physically alive so in this context Greek verb 2198 zao subjectively means to make spiritually alive and objectively means to be made spiritually alive. Romans 11:4-7 documents that only God’s “seven thousand” “election” are made spiritually alive during this earth age “and the rest were blinded” by the flesh thoughts and feelings of social networks including the world’s 4,351 religions which list does not yet include American socialism, marxism and wokeism.

English “he liveth” in Romans 6:10, “alive” in Romans 6:11 and “that are alive” in Romans 6:13 were all translated from Greek verb 2198 zao which can mean to be either physically alive or spiritually alive. Only God can perform the action of Greek verb 2198 zao to make one spiritually alive. Everyone reading and studying Romans 6:10 at this moment are physically alive so in this context Greek verb 2198 zao subjectively means to make spiritually alive and objectively means to be made spiritually alive. Romans 11:4-7 documents that only God’s “seven thousand” “election” are made spiritually alive during this earth age “and the rest were blinded” by the flesh thoughts and feelings of flesh social networks. The list of the world’s 4,351 religions does not yet include the latest American socialism, marxism and wokeism flesh social networks as religions even though they epitomize the definition of the English word religion. Our federal government expended taxpayer dollars creating an alphabetical list of the world’s religions which are archived by the library of congress. If you go to their web site at: https://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20020902082059/http://www.adherents.com/  you will find their alphabetical list of the world’s 4,351 religions with statistical information.  Most if not all of the world’s 4,351 religions believe that there is one God which begs the question: why are there 4,351 religions? 4,351 religions are predicated upon the flesh thoughts and feelings of 4,351 different human beings.  English “church” throughout the bible was translated from Greek feminine noun 1577 ekklesia from a compound of Greek preposition 1537 ek denoting origin and Greek verb 2564 kaleo subjectively meaning to call to an assembly and objectively means to be called to an assembly. Greek feminine noun 1577 ekklesia was translated into English “assembly” in Acts 19:32-35. Was God the origin of the calling of the assembly since “what  man is there  that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?” Is God the origin of the world’s 4,351 religions or are the origin of the world’s 4,351 religions predicates of the flesh thoughts and feelings of 4,351 different human beings? The answer is the latter so God created his own “general assembly and church of the firstborn which are written in heaven and to God  the Judge of all and to the spirits of just men made perfect,” as documented in Hebrews 12:22-29. I loathe the English word perfect emboldened in Hebrews 12:23. English “made perfect” in Hebrews 12:23 was mistranslated from Greek verb 5048 teleioo which in this context subjectively means for a grammatical subject to cause their grammatical objects to complete transition from flesh thoughts and feelings to be entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways and objectively means to be caused to complete transition from flesh thoughts and feelings to be entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways. God alone performs the action of Greek verb 5048 teleioo and only “seven thousand” “election” receive the action performed in the context of Hebrews 12:22-29 John 17:22-23  2Corinthians 12:7-10 Philippians 3:12-15 Hebrews 10:5-14 Hebrews 11:40 James 2:18-26 1John 2:5 and 1John 4:12-18. I emboldened Hebrews 11:40 because I wanted to document that English “be made perfect” “us” and “without” in “God having provided some better thing  for  us, that  they without  us  should  not be made perfect.” were translated from Greek verb 5048 teleioo defined above, Greek pronoun 2257 hemon and Greek adverb 5565 choris respectively. Greek adverb 5565 choris denotes separation in the sense of being apart from. Greek pronoun 2257 hemon was correctly translated into English “us” and Acts 9:15 documents that the Apostle Paul is among God’s “seven thousand” “election” while John 15:16 documents that Jesus’ disciples are among God’s “seven thousand” “election” and Hebrews 11:40 documents that everyone other than God’s “seven thousand” “election” are precluded from receipt of the action Greek verb 5048 teleioo during this earth age but Romans 8:21 documents that God’s “seven thousand” “election” shall deliver “the rest” of God’s creatures “from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty  of the children of God” during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour” “Who will have all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” which will occur between this earth age and the eternal age that follows.

Romans 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

Both English “he died” in Romans 6:10 were translated from Greek verb 599 apothnesko from a compound of Greek preposition 575 apo denoting separation of one thing in deference to another and Greek verb 2348 thnesko subjectively meaning to cause to be either spiritually or physically dead and objectively means to be caused to be either spiritually or physically dead. There are no magic Greek words that distinguish between spiritual and physical death. Physical and spiritual death are predicates of context and or the grammatical subject performing the verb’s action and grammatical object receiving the action performed. Greek verb 599 apothnesko does accurately infer choice. Jesus said “Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again” “No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father”. As Jesus chose to “lay down my life, that I might take it again” God’s “seven thousand” “election” choose to lay down all flesh thoughts and feelings in deference to God’s spiritual thoughts and ways.

English “dead” in Romans 6:9 was translated from Greek adjective 3498 nekros describing a human being who is either spiritually or physically dead.

English “dieth” in Romans 6:9 was translated from Greek verb 599 apothnesko from a compound of Greek preposition 575 apo denoting separation of one thing in deference to another and Greek verb 2348 thnesko subjectively meaning to cause to be either spiritually or physically dead and objectively means to be caused to be either spiritually or physically dead.

English “death” in Romans 6:9 was translated from Greek masculine noun 2288  thanatos being either spiritual or physical death.

Romans 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

English “being raised” in Romans 6:9 was translated from Greek verb 1453 egeiro which subjectively means to lift/raise up from a lower to a higher place and objectively means to be lifted/raised from a lower to a higher place as documented in Isaiah 55:7-11 where verses 10-11 introduces the parable of the seed sower as documented in the 13th chapter of Matthew, Mark 4:1-34 and in Luke 8:4-21.

Romans 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

English “Knowing” in Romans 6:9 was translated from Greek verb 1492 eido which means for a grammatical object to see through the eyes and know through the thoughts of their grammatical subject. Grammatical objects of God as their only grammatical subject see through God’s spiritual eyes and know through God’s spiritual thoughts.

Romans 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

English “we be dead” in Romans 6:8 was translated from Greek verb 599 apothnesko from a compound of Greek preposition 575 apo denoting separation of one thing in deference to another and Greek verb 2348 thnesko subjectively meaning to cause to be either spiritually or physically dead and objectively means to be caused to be either spiritually or physically dead. God’s definition of physical versus spiritual life and death is explained in previous Either Your Flesh Thoughts Are Dead Or Your Spirit Is Dead post.

Do You Choose To Be In Union With God or With Flesh Human Beings? English “with” in Romans 6:8 was translated from Greek preposition 4862 sun denoting union.

Who Performs The Action Of Greek Verb 2198 Zao? Who Receives The Action Performed? English “we shall” “live with” in Romans 6:8 was translated from Greek verb 4800 suzao from a compound of Greek preposition 4862 sun denoting union and Greek verb 2198 zao subjectively meaning to cause to be alive and objectively means to be caused to be alive. Only God can perform the action of  Greek verb 4800 suzao during this earth age and only God’s “seven thousand” “election” receive the action God performs during this earth age as documented in Romans 11:4-7 and “the rest” noted in Romans 11:7 includes 11:7’s “Israel” and “the rest” is everyone other than the “seven thousand” noted in Romans 11:4 and “election” noted in Romans 11:5 & 7. Conversely, a human being can perform the action of Greek verb 2198 zao by planting a seed in the earth where light and water can cause the seed to be alive in the form of a living plant.  One female and one male can cause their baby to be alive in the form of a human being. Only God can cause a human being to be spiritually alive during this earth age.  God’s “seven thousand” “election” are “those that are alive from the dead” of Romans 6:13 and who achieve “the first resurrection” of Revelation 20:5 & 6 and “they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years” while “the rest” [everyone other than God’s election] are the spiritually “dead” of Revelation 20:5 who are subsequently susceptible to the spiritual “second death” of Revelation 20:6.

Romans 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.

God’s full definition of English “sin” can be found in prior God Defines Sin post of Romans 6:1.

English “is freed” in Romans 6:7 was mistranslated from Greek verb 1344 dikaioo subjectively meaning to make right per God’s definition of right. Greek verb 1344 dikaioo objectively means to be made right per God’s definition of right. During this earth age, God performs the action of Greek verb 1344 dikaioo and God’s “seven thousand” “election” are the recipients of the action God performs. God’s “seven thousand” “election” will superimpose the same action God performed for them unto “the rest” of humanity during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” which shall occur between this earth age and the eternal age that follows.

English “he that is dead” in Romans 6:7 was translated from Greek verb 599 apothnesko from a compound of Greek preposition 575 apo and Greek verb 2348 thnesko subjectively meaning to cause to die and objectively means to be caused to be dead. Greek preposition 575 apo denotes the separation of one of two parts from the whole, as God premised in Genesis 6:3 “And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years” which limits flesh life to one “hundred and twenty years” subsequently God’s “spirit shall not always strive with man”. “Spirit is spirit” “flesh is flesh” English “again” emboldened in John 3:3-7 needs to be reconciled back to their original Greek to reiterate the constant struggle between flesh and Spirit: “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” “Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born”? “Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God” “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit”. “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again”.  English “again” in John 3:3 and 3:7 were mistranslated from Greek adverb 509 anothen. Greek adverb 507 ano means above.  Greek adverb 509 anothen means from above. Anyone who studies the 13 verses containing Greek adverb 509 anothen will know it means from above. “And the veil of the temple was rent in twain” from above to the bottom.  “And the veil of the temple was” not “rent in twain” from again to the bottom. This is not rocket science. Jesus said in John 6:36 “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life”. Jesus said in Galatians 5:16-18, 24 “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh” “For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would” “But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law” “And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts”. English “under” in Galatians 5:18 was translated from Greek preposition 5259 hupo meaning under in the genitive case as grammatical objects are under their grammatical subjects. God’s “seven thousand” “election” “are not under the law” but “be led of the Spirit” of God as their only spiritual grammatical subject. English “affections and lusts” in Galatians 5:24 were translated from Greek neuter noun 3804 pathema and Greek feminine noun 1939 epithumia from a compound of Greek preposition 1909 epi denoting superimposition and Greek masculine noun 2372 thumos from Greek verb 2380 thuo subjectively meaning to immolate and objectively means to be sacrificed to hell. In order to understand God’s definition of Greek neuter noun 3804 pathema we need to also understand Greek verb 3958 pascho Greek adjective 3805 pathetos Greek neuter noun 3806 pathos and Greek feminine noun 3709 orge being intrinsic human flesh emotion. English “wrath” has been translated from both Greek feminine noun 3709 orge and Greek masculine noun 2372 thumos from Greek verb 2380 thuo subjectively meaning to immolate and objectively means to be sacrificed to hell. Greek feminine noun 3709 orge [emotion] is the cause and Greek masculine noun 2372 thumos [the sacrifice of others to hell] is the effect.

There is flesh physical life and death and there is spiritual life and death during this earth age and these are not mutually exclusive. Bible phrase “he that is dead” in Romans 6:7 refers to God’s “seven thousand” “election” whose flesh thoughts and feelings are killed in deference to God’s spiritual thoughts and ways. Jesus, in Mark 4:13-14, told his disciples “And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables”? “The sower soweth the word”. Understanding the parable of the seed sower is integral to understanding the bible. Greek noun 5485 charis is God’s temporary bestowment of God’s Spirit. Greek noun 5486 charisma is God’s permanent endowment of God’s Spirit. God’s actual process relative to the parable of the seed sower is simple. God casts God’s spiritual true word unto earth. Human beings who change their intrinsic flesh thoughts and feelings in deference to God’s spiritual thoughts and ways reflected in God’s original Hebrew and Greek bible words receive more truth until they become entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways rendering their former flesh thoughts and feelings dead and God’s temporary bestowment of God’s Spirit becomes God’s permanent endowment of God’s Spirit. Human beings who change God’s original Hebrew and Greek bible words in deference to  their flesh thoughts and feelings, God simply leaves them to their own devices. God removes God’s temporary bestowment of God’s Spirit from them and removes them from God’s process pursuant to God’s will. “Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have”. God’s “seven thousand” “election” who receive God’s permanent endowment of God’s Spirit during this earth age achieve “the first resurrection” of Revelation 20:5 & 6 and “they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years” of Revelation 20:6. Human beings from whom God removes God’s temporary bestowment of God’s Spirit and removes them from God’s process pursuant to God’s will are the spiritually “dead” of Revelation 20:5 and are susceptible to the spiritual “second death” of Revelation 20:6. God’s “seven thousand” “election” will have “a thousand years” to cause “the rest” “to come unto the knowledge of the truth”. “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour” “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth”.

Greek pronoun 5212 humeteros is translated into English “your” “yours” and “your own” denoting something to be possessed and allocated by you and proceeding from you as exemplified by “yours is the kingdom of God” “if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also” “through your mercy they also may obtain mercy”. The previous bible quote is from Romans 11:31. In order to understand God’s definition of Greek pronoun 5212 humeteros we need to understand God’s process whereby human beings can identify the “your” in “through your mercy they also may obtain mercy”. We need to follow God’s 2Timothy 2:15-21 edict by “rightly dividing the word of truth” relative to Romans 11:4-7 & 26-32 “But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal” “Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace” “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work” “What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded”.  I am “rightly dividing the word of truth” when I tell you Israel is among the rest being everyone other than the “seven thousand” “election” God said “I have reserved to myself” and Romans 11:26-32 is going to tell us why God said “I have reserved to myself” “seven thousand” “election”. “And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob” “For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins” “As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes” “For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance” “For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief” “Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy” “For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all”. Israel is among the rest being them all in unbelief being everyone other than God’s “seven thousand” “election”. God is not punishing the rest being them all in unbelief. God is protecting the rest from Matthew 12:32 “And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come”. Only God’s “seven thousand” “election” can “speaketh against the Holy Ghost” because “the rest” do not yet posses God’s Holy Spirit. English “grace” emboldened in  Romans 11:5 & 6 in this paragraph and throughout the bible were mistranslated from Greek noun 5485 charis which is in fact the temporary bestowment of God’s spirit while “gifts” in Romans 11:29 in this paragraph was mistranslated from Greek noun 5486 charisma which is in fact the permanent endowment of God’s spirit. English “without repentance” in Romans 11:29 in this paragraph was mistranslated from Greek adjective 278 ametameletos which qualifies the fact that God will never change his mind regarding Greek noun 5486 charisma which is the permanent endowment of God’s spirit. Greek noun 5485 charis is the temporary bestowment of God’s spirit unto everyone to assess their suitability pursuant to God’s will. Greek noun 5485 charis is not predicated upon works. Greek noun 5486 charisma being the permanent endowment of God’s spirit pursuant to God’s will is predicated upon works. God’s process is simple and straight forward. “Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God”. God casts his word unto the earth those human beings who change their flesh thoughts and feelings in deference to God’s spiritual thoughts and ways receive more truth. Human beings who change God’s spiritual thoughts and ways in deference to their own or their flesh grammatical subject’s flesh thoughts and feelings “Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have”. English “may obtain mercy” emboldened in Romans 11:31 in this paragraph was translated from Greek verb 1653 eleeo which subjectively means to make compassionate and merciful and objectively means to be made  compassionate and merciful. God performs the action of Greek verb 1653 eleeo unto God’s “seven thousand” “election” during this earth age who superimpose the action of Greek verb 1653 eleeo unto “the rest” during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” which shall occur between this earth age and the eternal age that follows. “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour” “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” “Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time”. English “due” in prior verse was translated from Greek adjective 2398 idios describing one’s own time. “But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming”. “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures”. “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us” “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God” “For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope” “Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God” “For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now” “And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body”. God’s “seven thousand” “election” are the “saints” throughout the bible. The “many brethren” of Romans 8:29. The “sons of God” of John 1:12 Romans 8:14 & 19 Philippians 2:15 and 1John 3:1 & 2. The “children of God” of Matthew 5:9 Luke 20:36 John 11:52 Romans 8:14-21 Romans 9:6-8 Galatians 3:21-29 and 1John 3:10. The “us-ward” of Ephesians 1:10-23 and 2Peter 3:8-13. The “firstfruits” of Romans 8:23 1Corinthians 15:20-25 James 1:18 and Revelation 14:4. The “vessels of mercy” of Romans 9:18-28. The “lords” and “kings” of Revelation 17:14 & 19:16. The “holy priesthood” of 1Peter 2:5 and “royal priesthood” of 1Peter 2:9 “they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years” of Revelation 20:5. The “thousand years” in which God’s “seven thousand” “election” shall cause “the rest” “to come unto the knowledge of the truth”.

Greek pronouns 2248 hemas 2249 hemeis 2251 hemeteros 2254 hemin 2257  hemon 5210 humeis 5213 humin 5212 humeteros and 5216 humon in concert with Acts 9:15 and John 15:16 document that the writers of the New Testament are among God’s “seven thousand” “election”. English “us” “we” “our” “us-ward” “ourselves” “you” “ye” “your” “yours” and “your selves” document that the writers of the bible wrote specifically to God’s “seven thousand” “election” because “the rest” [16 billion human beings] being everyone other than God’s “seven thousand” “election”, have been removed from God’s process pursuant to God’s will.

English “crucified with” in Romans 6:6 was translated from Greek verb 4957 sustauroo from a compound of Greek preposition 4862 sun denoting union and Greek verb 4717 stauroo subjectively meaning to crucify and objectively means to be crucified. Greek verb 4957 sustauroo was also translated into English “I am crucified with” in Galatians 2:19-20 “For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God” “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me”. English “for” in Galatians 2:20 was translated from Greek preposition 5228 huper meaning over in the genitive case as a grammatical subject is over their grammatical objects. God came to earth in the embodiment of Jesus Christ to die on a Roman cross in order to be our one and only grammatical subject. Look around at a plethora of social networks including 4,351 different world religions and ask yourself, how would I feel if I died on a Roman cross in order to be everyone’s grammatical subject and everyone other than God’s “seven thousand” “election” were grammatical objects of a plethora of social networks including 4,351 different world religions?   

English “sin” in Romans 6:1, 2, 6, 7, 10,11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22 & 23 and throughout the bible have been translated from Greek feminine noun 266 hamartia from Greek verb 264 hamartano subjectively meaning to cause to be without share in God’s kingdom subsequent to Greek verb 2346 thlibo subjectively meaning to crowd in the sense of pressuring others off of their pathway. Greek verb 2346 thlibo objectively means to be crowded and pressured off of one’s pathway. It is helpful to think of Greek feminine noun 2347 thlipsis as a gauntlet you must run with social networks on each side trying to crowd, push, pull and force you off the pathway to your objective. For “seven thousand” “election” the objective is God’s will and the pathway leads to God’s kingdom. Greek feminine noun 2347 thlipsis was translated into “tribulation” in “Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God”. God’s full definition of English “sin” can be found in prior God Defines Sin post of Romans 6:1. If you study today’s social networks of American socialism, marxism and wokeism you will discover that they are in fact modern religions that perform the action of Greek verb 2346 thlibo.
